Accel: Eclipse

Eclipse

"Hey, share the love." Celeste pouted.

"Whoops," Eve replied as she turned the drawing for all to see.

"Damn," was the overall reply. It was a beautiful sketch of the seven of them laughing and talking with food under the tree in the small park. Cody drew himself drawing the picture, and he had in essence captured that moment in time.

"I'm keeping this," Charles smiled as he took a picture of it with his phone. Cody's face continued to redden. They continued wandering around Louixe, absorbing in every store, every street, and every corner. As they passed by one store though, something caught Day's ear.

"Hey," Day stopped.

"What?" Charles asked. "Something wrong?"

"No, wait!" Day continued. "Do you guys hear that?" The others paused and looked around. "Guys, the music! It's coming from that store over there." He pointed across the street to a store named Harmony Skies. There was a picture of a guitar and of a piano on the sign.

"Oh yea," Cody replied. "What about it?"

"I used to play the guitar, but I haven't touched one in ages." Day drooled. "Mind if we go in?"

"Sure, why not?" Luna shrugged. "In fact, I'd like to mess around with an instrument too." With that agreed, they stepped into the store.

"Welcome," a guy greeted them. "How can I help you today?"

"Can you show us to where the guitars are?" Day asked politely.

"The guitars are over there in that room." He pointed at a large room with walls filled with guitars.

"Thanks!" Day smiled as he hurried over to the room with his friends. He hungrily searched out a guitar and found a bench to sit on. Charles tested out a guitar of his own, and Lily fiddled around with a ukelele. "Hey Lily!" Day called over to her. She was staring blankly at the wall.

"Mm?" She turned towards him. "What's up?"

"Do you recognize this song?" He strummed a few chords, and her eyes lit up.

"You know how to play Eclipse?" she asked as she sat down next to him.

"Yea, it was the first song that I learned how to play." Day smiled. "I still remember it to this day. Do you know the lyrics to it?"

"I think so," Lily rubbed the back of her head.

"Great!" Day replied. "Will you sing it with me?" Lily hesitated.

"I don't know Day, my voice isn't very good."

"Doesn't matter," he shrugged. "Besides, I remember I heard you humming it when I first met you. You'll do fine." She looked around the room nervously, making out each person in the room. None of them were paying attention to the two of them.

"Fine," she sighed. "I'll sing with you."

"Alright then, you can take the first part, and I'll take the second part." Day strummed the guitar a few times. "Ready?"

"Yeah," Lily gave him a look of determination.

Day began to play a few chords as the intro.

Lily took a deep breath.

Late night

Looking at the stars

Wondering

If I can look at Mars

Do you think

It might be too far?
